Show OGBEi SOLDIER IS BOOST! THE L9I Jack West, an Ogden boy in tho U. S. service at Fort Bayard, New Mexl-co, Mexl-co, writes to say they have been busy on llb6rty loan work as well as the ordinary routine of camp life. Young West reports that in the unit to which he belongs every man bought a fifty bollar bond, notwithstanding tho fact that out of a private's thirty dollars per month there is deducted his insurance money and home allowance allow-ance and he points the very good moral that what the soldier can afford af-ford to do who is offering his life in addition lo his money surely the civilian ci-vilian can do whose lifo and property is being safeguarded by the willing readiness" of tho U. S. soldier. He thinks every civilian who remembers tho willingness of the troops to face misery, pain and death ought to be willing to buy bonds to the limit particularly par-ticularly when the memory of these sacrifices is fortified by the knowledge that the Hun has proved himself so dastardly an enomy that ihe only thing to do with him is to beat him to the ground." . |
